...relationships is another one of my chief strengths. I believe kids learn in a system of relationships and in a culture of learning. Building trust requires follow through—being present, prepared and in command, otherwise kids don’t take the risks. It also means adapting to individual learner’s needs. A great lesson or an appropriate challenge builds trust through understanding. I use an eclectic array of resources from graphic organizers, to drilling, to practiced editing, to sentence...

I am eager to help you grow in your knowledge and appreciation of French and German - my hope is that you will not only become proficient in your foreign language of choice, but that you will come to love it as well.

...an honors degree in Philosophy. My specific areas of focus are epistemology, formal logic, and philosophy of mind. However, I have an extensive background in the social sciences, especially political science. Oftentimes, a lack of confidence in their own ability will hold a student back from achieving their goals. I believe that supplementing a student's academic self-esteem leads to their continued and independent success. My ultimate goal as a tutor is to help the student...

...sew, and do yoga. I have been tutoring for about 7 years now, working with students grades K-12 in a variety of subjects including math, science, reading comprehension and test preparation. My favorite subject to tutor is math, because when I was younger it was something that I struggled with until I got the right help.

As an aspiring professor of literature with eight years of experience studying Spanish, I possess boundless love for language--as well as stories. I relish any opportunity to help impart this...

...and MA in journalism, I have over a decade of experience as a magazine writer and editor. Tutoring mirrors publishing, in that they're both collaborative efforts to train stronger writers to write refined prose. Great progress can be made this way. I teach writing as a process by encouraging students to embrace drafting. We take time to understand the project, brainstorm, follow idea threads, and write first drafts. Then the feedback and revision process begins,...
